This week, our partnership with game criticism site Critical Distance brings us picks from Cameron Kunzelman on topics including the first ever Critical Proximity conference and a chat on Titanfall.

Games Criticism! It Happens!

This Sunday marks the occasion of the first Critical Proximity, a conference for games writers that happened right before GDC. You can see text and video of a number of talks here. You can also watch the archived Twitch stream here.

Jeff and Holy Grenade talks about his life as an Xbox Live bully. This link contains all of the language you might associate with that. [Trigger warning for this: sexual assault described in detail, racial slurs, general sexism.]
